Death OF Mr.. Fisher.

Herman B. Fisher died at his home in
this city, Monday evening. April 18th,
after an illness of only few days. He
was in his eightY-second year, having
been born Nov. 18th, 1905. He was q
native of New Hampshire. but lived in
New York State twenty-six years before
coming to Lancaster in 1856. His wife,
whom he married in New York fiftY-six
years ago, passed away in December,
1885, since which time his daughter,
Mrs. Edith Mills. has cared for him and
made his last days comfortable and
happy. This third severe atfliction
leaves Mrs. Mills alone. Another daugh-
ter, Mrs. j. E. Barnett and a son, Mr..
Hulett Fisher, of Boston, are left TO
mourn his loss. He also leaves three
brothers, two older and one two years
younger than himself
He lived past four-score years, pre-
serving to the last all his faculties. His
life is worthy of imitation; for he pre-
served his God-given faculties by cor
rect living, and cultivated his spiritual
nature in preparation for future life.

Skilled Servants.

1t is SAID BY many that servants are
q necessary evil; therefore, the more
you have of them the worse you are off.
This is not quite so. If you can afford
to divide your work so that each ser
want is responsible only for her own de-
partment, and you are willing to pay
good wages. you have more chance Of
obtaining ambitious, well-traincd SER
wants, than if you must engage those
who are wiling to multiply themselves.
We may object to the idea that the wo-
man to whom we pay good wages and
give a comfortable home should refuse
to take a place where she has to be
generally useful, nevertheless. object as
we may, the fact remains, skilled labor
anywhere and everywhere, can afford
to be independent, and l for one, would
not grudge ii the right. What l and
every other housekeeper ought to OBJ
iect to, is that the half-skilled or quite
unskilled servants who absorb our time
and too often ruin our health, should
either be paid the wages or demand the
privileges of the skilled. Catherine

Opening lines to clara.

unpublished poem by Lord Byron)
When she is gone, the loved, the best, the one
Whose smile has gladdened though perchanee
undOnc:
Whose name, too dearly cherished to impart,
Dies on the lip. but trembies in the heart;
Whose sudden mention can almost convulse
And tighten through the Gngoyernable pulse,
Till the heart leaps so keeniy 10 the word
We fear that throh can hardly beat unheard,
Then sinks at once beneath that sickly chill
That follows when we find her absent still;
When such is gone, too far again 20 bless,
Oh, God! how slowly comes Forgetfuiness;
Let none complain how faithless and now
brief
The brains remembrance of the bosom's
grief;
Or. ere they thus forbid us TO forget,
Let Mercy strip the memory of regret,
Yet-seifish still-we would not be forgot;
What lip dare say, my love remember notg
Oh, best and dearest, whose thrilling name
My heart adores TOO deeply 10 proclaiml
My memory, almost ceaSing to repine,
Would mount to hope if once secure of thine,
Meantime the tale / weave must mournful be,
As absence TO the heart that lives on thee.
-Byroniana, in Murray's Magazine.
